Cash cows have been absolute trash this year. I've got Burgess, Bailey, Stocker, Setterfield, and Answerth in my side, all having not made much cash. Plus Ross looked like a really good cow but then got hurt early in his last match and didn't go up much. Getting to the point where I can't do downgrade/upgrade because I'm not making enough cash on my downgrades.

Yeah I can see myself riding the last 6-7 rounds with 2 trades left or something like that haha

Bones Bombers

You know, I really expected Drew to keep playing games. Thought he had the best JS.
Managed to swing him and Duursma into the midfield to hopefully keep as DPP cover.
Was going to trade Scrimshaw this week but with Drew still out he has to go now.
Scrimshaw to Hinge next week hopefully.
Have managed to shuffle around and have a full field and 1 Emg on Def, Fwd and Mid.
Danger, Williams, Hayes, Scott and Bines not playing.

So I lose Crouch, Hayes, Rowbottom, Dangerfield, Drew, Williams & Moore. Sometimes I hate this game. >:(

Rowbottom was self inflicted tbh

I feel your pain, as we all do

Going to be a rough round

Like I've mentioned numerous times, it was done to catch Kelly before he hit 600k, no regrets as I've now got a gun POD (8%) who has a small BE & is due to hit 630k. Was relying on Hayes to last one more week & then I would have swung Lockhart into the mids. In any case, will trade Crouch to Neale, that at least seems like a decent upgrade.
I've toyed with the idea of Crouch to Neale but I think it's critical to keep the upgrade train going.

As has been discussed above me, the rookies are sooooo slim this year that trades late are going to be much more valuable than past seasons (because we'll be spending more trades to get complete teams). 

Any situation where I can be stingy with a trade this season I'm sure as hell gonna be.  That means holding on the 2-3 week injuries and sucking it up.

I was definitely planning on holding Crouch but simply cannot afford another donut, he has to go. Really annoyed because his bye was perfect but now have to try & scrap together a round 13 side. I suppose I could bring him back when he hits 450k, that's certainly an option over the next few weeks.

I’ve come to terms with having a donut if Setters doesn’t get named (real possibility) would rather lose 50 points and have an extra valuable trade for later on.

Don’t want to trade a Crouch, Williams, Danger type.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the same direction too, but for me it's Stocker - I don't want to change all my trade plans just to avoid missing a 40-50 from him

I'll fall back now, but then I'll gain on the pack later when I've completed my team quicker then most

Plowman and Cunningham are the obvious ins

2 of Kennedy, Setterfield and Stocker should play

Fasolo and Macraedie won’t make the cut. Kerr killed the VFL (6 goals) but don’t think he fits in the side as we are already too tall.

Money Shot

Kennedy confirmed in for blues.

Setterfield owners should be getting nervous :-[

Setterfield vs Stocker, will be interesting, I thought Stocker played better last week although that's not necessarily a compliment, Setterfield was downright horrible, thought he looked like a bush footballer who had a few too many.

Agreed.

Think based on last weeks performance Stocker deserves the nod.

Plowman and/or Cunningham might be injured still (both listed as tests) so in SuperCoach terms hope one of them dont play so I can have Setters.

Yep. I am on the Stocker bandwagon as well. On ya bike Setters! If Stocker gets the nod it is him or Lockhart at M8. Hmmm. Thanks to Fat Crouch.
